Lead Washed: A Stripped Solemn Base

A Unique Residential Space by Yun Yih Interior Design Company

Purposely reducing its hues to reveal a stripped solemn base, Lead Washed by Yun Yih Interior Design Company stands out as a unique residential space. This design project, spanning 95 square meters, captures the essence of modernity and cement aesthetics.

The design inspiration for Lead Washed stems from the beauty found in simplicity. By reducing the color palette to greys, the design team creates a space that exudes elegance and sophistication. Light and shadow seem frozen in time, yet one can still hear the faint ticking of the second hand or the rumbling of a heartbeat.

The realization of Lead Washed is a testament to the power of simplicity. Using simple points, lines, and planes, the design removes any unnecessary posturing and reveals a realistic plot. The focused lenses of the protagonist capture every upward, horizontal, and downward look, transporting the viewer into a personal theater of the imagination.

Lead Washed offers a unique interaction with its space. The unpredictable cloud lines smudge the surroundings, adding an element of surprise and intrigue. The single surface that stretches with its ripples and the oversized mosaic of old pieces behind the dining table enrich the layers within the tableau. The luster from the blue velvet sofa and metallic dining chairs mirrors the Summer Triangle, captivating in every way.

The Lead Washed project, located in Taipei, was initiated in November 2018 and completed in March 2019. Throughout the design process, the team at Yun Yih Interior Design Company conducted extensive research, recognizing the importance of the relationship between design and space. They firmly believe that all beautiful things come from an accumulation of countless trials.

Overcoming creative, technical, and research challenges, the design team honed their skills and achieved a remarkable result. Like a sharp blade forged from a grindstone, Lead Washed showcases the team's dedication to trial and error, finding the right balance, and ultimately mastering their craft.

Lead Washed has garnered recognition for its exceptional design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2021 in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements.
